This game has good controls, decent graphics and fun gameplay loop. Explain why is it considered mediocre while Die Hard Arcade with its laggy controls is much more beloved?
Fighting Force is cynical western polish-slop. Dynamite Deka is soulful japanese arcade jank.
>>12714571It's actually called Die Hard Arcade
>>12714437>This game has good controls, decent graphics and fun gameplay loopLiterally none of that is true. I didn't even think it was anything special when it was new and it's really fucking bad now.>while Die Hard Arcade with its laggy controlsYou are bad so of course you don't like an actually good game.
>>12714628Wrong and wrong
>>12714437it's pretty damn good considering it doesn't use a fixed camera. Sort of a predecessor to Spikeout in a lot of ways.
>>12714437Because it is just one of the bajillion good PSX games while Die Hard Arcade is one of the like five good Saturn games.Fighting Force also has a few gameplay issues, like super moves not giving you invulnerability (try doing crushers super while cornered by fast attacking enemies, you can't) and every move being sloooow.
>>12714437I loved this game. Me and my brother/cousins played the shit out of the demo. It was just a nice 3D beat em up. Way more depth than the 2D ones before it.
>>12714437>it's not good enough to be SoR 3d>it's better than all the previous SoR gamesWhat was Sega's problem?
I haven't played fighting force but Die Hard Arcade is a masterpiece not just because of the incredible player agency (moveset + weapons), the impeccable pacing, great balance and skill ceiling; but most of all it's a masterpiece because of the constant stream of unique content the game throws at you. Every room is a different, and past the room they're in, enemies are almost NEVER re-used. It's rare to have a game constantly shower the player with new things and it shows the high bar the developer had set for themselves. Any other dev would have thought "hey we can re-use this or that enemy and this or that texture here and there and make the game 15 mins longer if we then re-use that boss but as a mini version or a powered up version". But no, not the Die Hard Arcade devs, they left that shit for devs who didn't actually want to create a masterpiece.
Die Hard Arcade combat is so much better and reminds me of a streamlined Virtua Fighter.Fighting Force feels slow and clunky.
>>12714437die hard arcade is dogshit, and fighting force is okay but extremely meh. this board has a lot of retards who enjoy simple junky retard games
It has no soundtrack
>games you rented once and have no memory of
>>12714437The core fighting sucks, it's slow and sluggish; vs Die Hard being fast and responsive. Like for instance just compare what it takes to pick up an item in FF versus DHAsame enemy x6 or x10 in a row; insane enemy variety in Die Hardawful camera, never a problem in Die HardBoring uninspired level design; while Die Hard keeps throwing new stuff at the player constantlyI also hate how in Fighting Force enemies like to gang up on you from all sides constantly, it's like the devs admitting "we couldn't figure out how to balance this right so instead we made it bullshit"Die Hard also has a much more varied moveset, while in FF it's super basic, and more weapons that actually behave differently too
oh and the music is so bland as well in FF. The visual art direction is also super uninspired, it reminds me of that Ninja game they made, probably the same devs.
